〈吃角子老虎〉



把油花花的银子
拼命喂给
一张张
嗷嗷待哺的
嘴


灯烛辉煌的赌场里
唐人街来的厨师
竟老眼昏花
把吃角子老虎
看成他
留在乡下
一群永远长不大的
孩子

SLOT MACHINES


feverishly feeding oily coins

into the hungry mouths

of the slot machines



a cook from Chinatown

blinded by the splendor of the casino

has mistaken them

for the children he left behind

in the old country

where they refuse

to grow up
